Calais to Saint Sebastien is 380 miles by road. This takes approximately 6 hours using the autoroutes by passing Paris which makes for easy, trouble free motoring. Some motorway sections require payment of a toll when you arrive at a 'péage' so depending on your route expect to have to pay about 23 euros (15 GBP). You may not be using the Dover-Calais ferry crossing which means your journey will be shorter by a couple of hours if you sail to Le Harve or Caens.
